If you only had a tenner left

If you only had a tenner left before your next pay day, what would you spend it on? I think for me it would have to be Oyster top up, boring but well at least I'd be able to get to work!

If it was a while away i'd obviously have to buy myself some food to keep me going or petrol to get to work. If it was say two days ago then i'd just keep it and save the money.
I'd probably buy cereal + milk (£3)
a newspaper every day (assume 1 week) (£3)
Then maybe a bar of soap if i run out (99p)
and then I still have £3.01 remaining .... obviously I would have already purchased my monthly oyster card
see, easy eh.
double or nothing
Just what I was going to say :thumb:
I'd probably have to hit Netto though for some bargains, it's closer than Lidl and I'd need to be saving my petrol if I only had a tenner.
Teehee, I know exactly the place you mean. Yep, it's still there and doing a roaring trade
Having a tenner left before payday is a luxury for me:(
I just survive on alcohol and life, man.
But I'm borrowing £20 off my mate tomorrow so all is good :yippe:
If they were a bit bare, then id go and buy basics from the shop. Milk, pasta, bread, butter.
I think i could probably get a weeks worth if i shopped blue stripe.
If my cupboards were full, then id probably just put the tenner in my purse and not go anywhere all week.
I'd go out and buy potatos, chickpeas, onions, bread, parsnips, carrots, brown lentils, vegetable stock, milk and rice (or quinoa if I can find it cheap).
I have a lot of herbs and spices with which I can cook and I'd live off curries and lentil dishes, which will keep my healthy and my tum tum full
I eat fairly cheaply anyway and our cupboards are hardly bare. Maybe I'd buy a newspaper, the Independent is cheap at university.
They should be paying you to drink Fosters!
Lol I was gonna say that, or a gram of speed or something lol, nah I'd only do that if it was the night before pay day.
Otherwise hmm maybe a couple of pints down the pub and some baccy or something.
i have a order of preference tho, i usually go Ayingerbrau, Carlsberg, Fosters, Carling, Grolsch, Kronenberg, Stella(boo)
thats out of your standard lagers anyway.
useless info for you there, but im bored.
well... if I had none left. If my cupboards are as stocked as they are at the moment, I'd probably have no reason to spend it.
wtf is a tenbag? and shouldn't you belong in scotland, where than language is probably from?
lol i dunno where it came from, a tenbag is half a henry more or less...
